MINORITIES CAN STILL BE CAPABLE OF OPPRESSING OTHER MINORITIES

Can we stop acting like we need to give Trump a chance now?  He’s already consistently demonstrating nothing is going to change between his campaign and administration with his hires.

Koreans across the world held rallies to add their voices to the one million citizens gathered at Gwanghwamun, central Seoul, on Saturday (KST) demanding that President Park Geun-hye resign over a scandal involving longtime confidante Choi Soon-sil. Rallies were held simultaneously in 10 countries, including the United States, Germany, France, Australia, and Japan on Friday and Saturday (local time). In the U.S., candlelight rallies were held in major cities including Washington, D.C., New York and Los Angeles on Friday evening (local time). While about 500 Korean Americans and overseas Koreans shouted “Park Geun-hye out!” in front of the Consulate General of Korea in Los Angeles, more than 200 people called on Park to resign at the entrance of Koreatown, Manhattan, New York. Twenty citizens also joined the protest in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

“Park Geun-hye POIS!!! (Helsinki)”

Following the anti-president rally of Korean students from the University of California , Berkeley and Stanford University, students from Harvard University in Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology also denounced Park. Angry Koreans in Europe also held the rallies on Saturday (local time) to demand Park’s resignation and to restore democracy. In France, nearly 700 people, including local citizens, international students and tourists, took part in a rally calling on Park to step down.

In Germany, about 300 people protested at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin wearing the masks of Park and Choi. As well as demanding Park’s resignation, they also called on the Korean government to investigate the case properly and punish the criminals.

Anti-Park rallies were also held in other cities including Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Munich and Bochum. Meanwhile, about 800 Koreans in Australia joined a candlelight rally at the Hyde Park, Sydney, and 150 protesters picketed with signs at Aotea Square, Auckland, New Zealand, on Saturday afternoon. They demanded Park’s resignation and a proper investigation of the influence-peddling scandal. Protests were also held in Canada, England, Japan, India and Brazil during the two days.

 We’ll likely never know how many people were kept from the polls by restrictions like voter-ID laws, cuts to early voting, and barriers to voter registration. But at the very least this should have been a question that many more people were looking into. For example, 27,000 votes currently separate Trump and Clinton in Wisconsin, where 300,000 registered voters, according to a federal court, lacked strict forms of voter ID. Voter turnout in Wisconsin was at its lowest levels in 20 years and decreased 13 percent in Milwaukee, where 70 percent of the state’s African-American population lives, according to Daniel Nichanian of the University of Chicago.

[…]

On Election Day, there were 868 fewer polling places in states with a long history of voting discrimination, like Arizona, Texas, and North Carolina.These changes impacted hundreds of thousands of voters, yet received almost no coverage. In North Carolina, as my colleague Joan Walsh reported, black turnout decreased 16 percent during the first week of early voting because “in 40 heavily black counties, there were 158 fewer early polling places.”

Even if these restrictions had no outcome on the election, it’s fundamentally immoral to keep people from voting in a democracy. The media devoted hours and hours to Trump’s absurd claim that the election was rigged against him, while spending precious little time on the real threat that voters faced.

I want to salute the people that did cover voting rights doggedly, including Rick Hasen of the Election Law Blog; Michael Wines of The New York Times; Sari Horwitz of The Washington Post; Alice Ollstein, Kira Lerner, and Ian Millhiser of Think Progress; Tierney Sneed of Talking Points Memo; Zack Roth, Joy Reid, Chris Hayes, Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton of MSNBC; Mark Joseph-Stern and Jamelle Bouie of Slate; David Graham of The Atlantic; Brad Friedman of The Brad Blog, in addition to great local reporters like Bryan Lowry of the Wichita Eagle; Patrick Marley of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel; and Colin Campbell of the Raleigh News & Observer. ProPublica organized an essential Electionland project with reporters across the country.

But when it really mattered, too many in the media treated the right to vote as a fringe issue instead of the most fundamental issue in the election.
